Chapter 448: Lauma's Gift

The attributes of darkness and space is combined to release a deadly attack. The attack is so powerful that it shook the whole dungeon. The abomination's attack covered the entire room that they were in and killed half of the raid party.

The only one's standing are Adrian, Soleil, Cersei, Kabrakan, Mariposa, Peridot and Levin Cloud. Vayu wanted to strike the abomination once more in a final attempt, but he perished before landing a hit. Creepysoo erected layer of defenses but he reacted too slow.

The abomination also did not come out unscathed and even got damaged. The rocky armor that was its body is now filled with cracks. It even lost one of it horns due to the intensity of its attacks. More importantly, the abomination is tired from releasing that attack.

"We managed to survive that attack, but your shields are broken." Cersei commented as she noticed that Kabrakan's shields are now in fragments.

"Do not worry, my shields are supposed to do that as they get stronger the more times that they break." Kabrakan replied.

As soon as Kabrakan said that the shield fragments floated and reforged into much more durable shields. This is one of the legacies given to him and which made Kabrakan dive into perilous dungeons because his shields grow stronger each time they break. 

If other shield bearers would learn of the properties of his shield, then they would be vomiting blood from jealousy by now. A shield that becomes more durable when broken is a dream shield for any tank player. Even Kabrakan was ecstatic when he received the two towering shields but became mad at them a few days later.

Kabrakan learned that his shield is a growth type weapon but the pre-requisite for it to grow is ridiculous. The requirement for it to increase in rating is to be destroyed. Any type of tank player would say that this would be easy, and it was at the beginning.

He managed to raise the two shield's tier to Rare in a matter of hours but the road to Epic tier was aggravating. It came to the point that his shields would only decrease in durability from boss monsters which are the same level as him. He even died a few times before his shields could even brake.

Kabrakan even doubted himself if he is turning into a masochist as he liked getting beaten up. If there were only his friends around in this dungeon then he would have been crying due to immense joy. His two shields are now Legendary rank at last. All the countless suicide dungeon diving has finally paid off.

The two shields are now looking much more aesthetically pleasing than before. The two shields looked like they are now made from a dark purple metal with a brown gem in the center. Kabrakan now gains gauntlets every time that he equips his two shields.

"We are the only ones who managed to survive!?" Mariposa reacted as she could not sense her soulbounds.

Adrian could not feel but be disappointed as he is the one who asked them to help him. It seems that he overestimated himself in killing Cristobal without researching his opponent. Even if he searched, nothing would pop up because Cristobal is one of the secretive NPCs. You would have to turn over a whole planet to even find information about him.

"I am sorry." Adrian stated as he knew that at this point losing levels are not acceptable.

"You do not need to blame yourself because we knew what we are going into. The risk is great, but we can try again, right?" Cersei stated but Adrian shook his head.

"If we do not kill him now then he might escape and wreak havoc somewhere else. He might even become a world boss." Adrian replied in a grave tone.

"You do not have to worry big brother Equinox. I still have Lauma's Gift. I will need to activate it, so you need to protect me from the abomination." Soleil suddenly stated which gave a faint hope to the ones left.

"Do you know what the gift can do?" Adrian asked as he wanted to be sure.

"I do not know but Lauma told me to use it when we are in a dire situation. You could say that this the best way to use it." Soleil replied.

"Good as a chance as any. Use it. Paradox, summon Primordial Armament: Sword." Adrian commanded and his armament appeared on his hand.

"Better get serious then. Draconic Force!" Peridot stated as her draconic features starts to turn up.

Peridot's hands became thick dragon claws. Her horns also started to emerge from her head. A long and strong tail also appeared behind her.

"Devil's Inversion!" Cersei casted and all her skill cooldowns refreshed. It only worked on skills with Legendary or below, but it is very helpful. She started debuffing the abomination while it is still exhausted.

"I guess all I can do now is a diversion since all my soulbounds perished with one attack." Mariposa stated as she started to summon small bugs. Her soulbounds threw away their lives so she could survive the attack.

Levin Cloud, who just emerged from the chrysalis, became confused because the raid party became reduced. The chrysalis is also somewhat a shield because it has health. The one inside could emerge earlier if the chrysalis is broken.

Soleil started to use Lauma's gift that was a tattoo n her arm. The tattoo has a wreathe motif that is lush green. She started to chant the spell given to her by Lauma. The chant is long, but she could just read it out once she activates the gift.

"The life of one is just as important as the life of the many. In order to make lie sacred then one should hold onto life but let go when it is time. I, Soleil, use the gift that the Elemental of Life has given. Show me the power bestowed upon my name. Promise of Life!" Soleil chanted and the ground started to grow grass and flowers.
